Kurzweil PC3K7 73 Note Production Station

Kurzweil PC3K7 Performance Controller Keyboard, 76-Key

The PC3 introduced the world to a new generation of ground-breaking Kurzweil technology, having a synthesis architecture that remains unparalleled in depth and flexibility, combined with a staggering amount of effects processing power. The PC3 sound set, which encompasses everything from the traditional to the cutting edge, has been widely acknowledged as second to none.

Kurzweil PC3K7 (76-Key VAST Workstation)

The Kurzweil PC3 series keyboards introduced some major developments in synthesizer technology, with their anti-aliasing VA oscillators, improved KB3 mode, amazing sound sets, 16 independent riffs and arpeggiators, powerful song and QA modes, sampling, unparalleled MIDI control, and more. If you're a long-time Kurzweil fan, however, you may have missed those wonderful sample libraries you've built up over the years. The PC3K7 changes everything! This revolutionary new keyboard combines all of the hard-hitting PC3 features, plus K 2/25/26 series .K file sample library compatibility, which opens the door to some of the greatest sound sets ever created. With the PC3K7, you can combine more than a decade and a half of K2000 and K2500 legacy sample libraries with the PC3's super-powerful Dynamic V.A.S.T. synthesis engine, for exploring the uncharted possibilities of sound development. The potential power of the PC3K7 is simply incredible, and 76 PC3X-style semi-weighted keys make it a blast to play. It even offers more excellent new features, including a USB host port that lets you plug in standard USB thumb drives so that you can quickly store and retrieve data, as well as load OS updates. One further development that the PC3K7 offers you is 128MB of nonvolatile user-sample memory. Made possible by a breakthrough in sample flash technology, this nonvolatile user memory adds a new level of stability to the PC3K7. Not only does this new sample flash memory allow the PC3K7 to retain user samples after a power cycle, but it also powers back on with zero sample load time. Whether you're a Broadway performer, a working musician, a composer, or even a hobbyist, if you're looking for the very best performance sounds from a super-stable keyboard, you'll find it with the Kurzweil PC3K7!Kurzweil PC3K7 76-key Keyboard Workstation Features at a Glance:76-note semi-weighted hammer action, with velocity- and aftertouch- sensitive keysQuick release spring gives keys the response needed for synth/organ parts128MB nonvolatile sample flash RAMCompatible with K 2/25/26 series libraries and programsLarge backlit LCD with dedicated back-panel brightness and contrast controls128- voice polyphony, dynamically allocated, lightning-fast performanceMultit imbral: 16 parts (one per MIDI channel)Over 850 stunning factory presets, many of which use 10-20 layersFeatures samples from PC2 Base Sound ROM, Orchestral, Classic Keys, String Section ROM, and moreOver 64 KB3 programsIncludes 96 factory MIDI setups and 128 user- programmable MIDI setupsMIDI setups include 8 independent zones, effects and arpeggiator settingsGeneral MIDI compatible2,560 locations for user-created preset programs 2,560 locations for user-created MIDI SetupsROM expansion slot16 insert effects distributed over 12 buses and 2 auxiliary sendsOver 300 effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, EQ, distortion, compression, and moreMaster effects section with 5-band parametric EQ and 3-band compressorPitch and modulation wheels9 front-panel sliders/drawbar controllers2 front-panel switches (momentary or toggle, software selectable)3-switc h pedal input2 continuous- control pedal inputs, mono pressureSuper Ribbon inputBreath- controller inputController values can be "captured" and stored as part of a program"Info" soft button displays what the PC3's assignable controllers are doing in each program"Easy Audition" lets you preview patches with short sound sequences16 independent arpeggiators with multiple latch modes, selectable play orders, and more4 x ¼" balanced TRS analog (24-bit DACs)Rear-panel ¼" headphone output24-bit stereo S/PDIF featuring 44.1/48/88.2/96/17 6. 4/192kHz modesSyncable to external clockMIDI input, Output, and Throughput (hardware switchable to copy of MIDI output)Complete MIDI functionality over USB, including data storage and OS updates via thumb driveUSB thumb drive memory port lets you store and load programs, OS updates, and sequences.Free OS updatesFor the v
